Reproduced via Tridni Valka - Source in French: Nepal, Morocco, Madagascar, Indonesia, Peru… In recent months and weeks, massive demonstrations, riots, and even regime changes have taken place in various countries around the world, breathing new life into our most fervent hopes! In Indonesia, growing outrage over the privileges enjoyed by the elite against a backdrop of austerity reached a tipping point when, on August 28, police killed a young man during a protest in Jakarta and then, on August 31, when videos showing parliamentarians dancing after receiving an indecent housing allowance were made public.

From an article by AMI - What is the situation of proletarians who are listed in official documents as men and Ukrainian citizens? Generally speaking, they are under attack from several different sides. On the one hand, there is the deadly invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army. On the other, they are forcibly mobilized by the Ukrainian army and sent to the front, from where they return traumatized, maimed, or dead.

Over the last few months, various revolutionary internationalist anarchist organisations put their names to the following statement. Though itself ready for an update it was the precursor to establishing a new network of anarchist internationalists to achieve the following: Collective solidarity, practical on the ground and in revolutionary principle; To be a hub for the exchange and presentation of information and propaganda; To distinguish ourselves from those oppositionist groups that use the name anarchism but no longer defend Revolutionary internationalism and, to provide a coherent reference point in the libertarian tradition as other international initiatives take place around the imperative of 'no war but the class war.'

From our comrades at Tridni Valka - Original text Statement of Solidarity Marxist Forum — Metro Manila7 September 2025 Although part of a long wave of mass urban mobilizations spanning years, the wild series of uprisings in Indonesia today began on the 25th of August, when students and workers led demonstrations against proposed additional housing allowances for parliament members, raising their salaries 10 times higher than the national minimum wage of the Indonesian working class.

Original Article by Anti Militarist Iniative (AMI) - The mainstream media publishes articles about how terribly the Russian army treats deserters. “Chained to trees, locked in metal tanks, or dragged behind off-road vehicles—this is the reality for Russian soldiers who refused to fight in Ukraine,” they note. (1) As usual, there is not much written about the equally horrific massacres of Ukrainian deserters.

We are not criminals. We are people. Men and women who refused to become casualties of the war of two regimes. We refuse to be held hostage by political contracts and military plans. The Ukrainian government is currently preparing Law No. 13673, which criminalises everyone who has escaped the mobilisation. Anyone who refuses to return to the trenches faces a risk of imprisonment, deportation, and a forceful conscription into the army.

Hyperbole around the assassination of the right wing Christian fundamentalist agitator Charlie James Kirk has made the removal of a footnote to the current populist chaos seem bigger than the sum of its parts. Perhaps in an embryonic form, this demonstrates the endemic unease about the ripples across our current social fabric. As if waiting for the brink of some fascist apocalypse, this has been widely described as a "Reichstag" moment – a reference to the murky ignition of the German parliament building in 1933 that acted as the pretext for the Nazis rolling out the seizure of power via democratic Parliamentary instruments.

From Roosevelt and Stalin's "Big Two" to Putin and Trump's 'Odd Couple', history might not be repeating itself, but it does feel like it's having a laugh at our expense. What happened in Alaska felt less like the deliberations from an encounter between two warring figureheads, and more the choreographed delivery of a joint position statement long held and worked out.

Gaslighting Gaza: Hunger, hypocrisy and history all over again… If media promoted photographs are to be believed, crowds of desperate Palestinians surrounding aid convoys in the Gaza Strip have now joined the Great Wall of China as one of the few earthly human spectacles visible from space. It is an instrument of torture to revive the victim, sustain their capacity to live sufficiently to draw out the terrible suffering inflicted on them, as a warning, revenge, or punishment.
